I am curious to hear your thoughts and experiences with acquiring an architecture firm.
The owner will stay on for up to 3 years.
Thx

I wonder what kind of work and projects the firm specializes in. Where do they get their business. Ant referral
concentrations? Ties to ground up new construction? Cyclical industries? Reliance on the seller? For SBA if you’re doing 100% buyout, the seller can only stay on for a year. You’d have to do a partial change of ownership or roll to have the seller stay on for multiple years. redacted Other comments already made about licensing. And hopefully many people in the company doing the work. What’s your relatable expertise?
